Wellness Screenings Benefit Members Participating in the Get Healthy Know Your Numbers wellness screening is voluntary. The 2016 wellness screenings are offered to employees enrolled in PEBTF benefits. The wellness screening gives you valuable health information so you know where you are doing well and areas that may need improvement. You should provide your doctor with a copy of your wellness screening results so you can discuss any follow-up that may be needed.
Why is the Know Your Numbers Wellness Screening Important? The wellness screening looks at four health measurements that could save your life ? cholesterol, blood glucose (sugar), blood pressure and BMI. Almost half of all Americans suffer from conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, which wellness screenings help identify. More than 15% of people have one of these conditions and are unaware of it. A wellness screening can detect if you have any of these health risks so that you can work with your doctor to maintain or improve your health. The wellness screening is a way for you to find out how you are doing and to compare the results to previous wellness screenings.
Your Confidentiality is Assured All information in the wellness screening is personal and confidential as protected by federal law. Your results will not be read out loud at the onsite event. The reviewer will point to the results. The PEBTF will not have access to your individual results but will use aggregate data to develop future wellness programs. Quest Diagnostics values and understands that your privacy is most important and steps have been taken to assure confidentiality.

Quest Diagnostics began providing wellness screenings in 2002 and performed 1.5 million screenings this past year. This is the fourth year that Quest Diagnostics has performed wellness screenings for PEBTF members.
